MARS GEMINI LANDER

[ajamodels]

HERE IS MY LATEST COMPLETED PROJECT.
The 'Mars Gemini Lander' from a concept by General Electric and Space Division in 1963. The design was by Thomas F. Widmer and Dandridge Cole.
A highly detailed scientific proposal paper was put together for the AIAA Conference in October of 1963. The beautiful illustrations by Roy G. Scarfo were later published in 1965 in a book titled 'Beyond Tomorrow - the next 50 years in Space'.

Guess which model kit parts I used to complete this!

Enjoy!

Very cool project, there are so many interesting concepts that NASA never went through with.

Awesome work! I always thought Gemini was a cool sports car lookin’ ship, and with those wings it could pass for a sci fi star fighter. You should look up Delta 7 card models, the designer created a series of paper models that are incredibly detailed and feature many of the Gemini concepts. Also Project Mercury too.

Thanks for that info. But, it looks like there's nothing to find. just sends me to spammer pages...

Wouldn’t do for the Mars ANSA-nauts to find apes up there too:

“Not again!”

By Gemini to Mars!

That’s sad, the designer, Dan Shippy was working on Apollo as well. I’m gonna look around and see if he uploaded his models to another site

Really neat looking!!

I got the same thing (including a redirect to a porn site! ).

I ended up looking it up at wayback machine; this link should be safe, as it's the archived site and NOT the redirected one:

Now to put it atop SuperHeavy

Or maybe on top of a Apollo Saturn 1b?

Nice work, I've always loved these concept artwork from the early space age. Great to see them turn into models.
